There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. [Ecc 3:1-8 NIV]
Join us Sunday, October 27th for the second service of our Loving God series: Changing Seasons. Meditation given by Rev. John Clifford. Meditative Taizé songs provide the backdrop for a candlelight service of healing and wholeness. We will continue to gather at, First United Methodist Church, Georgetown, Texas. Open to the public, childcare provided.
As before, we will pray together by combining two very special types of worship services: the Service of Healing and Wholeness and Taizé Common Prayers. We are a diverse community of area Christians, and these services are open to all who would come. Songs are sung from the Community of Taizé. Opportunities are given for intercessory prayer and the lighting of candles. A time is set aside for anointing by ministers. Open Communion is served.
About the meditations: Our subject for the coming season is, “Loving God: Finding the Sacred in the Ordinary.” Brief homilies will be prepared by area ministers, and guided by a senior pastor. Scripture will be selected for meditation based on each topic. 2019-2020 topics are:
| September 22 | Choosing God |
| October 27 | Changing Seasons |
| November 24 | Sharing God |
| December 8 | God With Us |
| January 26 | Renewal |
| February 23 | Relationships |
| March 22 | Desert Time |
| April 26 | Forgiveness & Grace |
| May 24 | Answering God’s Call |
About the songs: Taizé Prayer chants are congregational, made of short phrases that are repeated for ease of participation. In our services, we always sing in English, but for an idea of how the songs sound, please enjoy this playlist of all of the songs we like to use.
We hope to see you, our friends and neighbors, in 2019-2020.
